NEW APPROACH TO PREPARE HIGHLY DISPERSED NON-NOBLE (BI)METALLIC NANOPARTICLES SUPPORTED ON ORDERED MESOPOROUS SILICAS FOR CATALYTIC APPLICATIONS

摘要

Non-noble (bi)metallic supported nanoparticles (NPs) (e.g. Ni, Cu and Co-based) ofter a range of technical and commercial advantages, which makes them a feasible alternative to the more expensive supported noble metal NPs (e.g. Pt, Pd, Ir, Au) catalysts. Consequently, over the last decade, an extensive research focused on the preparation methods and/or applications of (bi)metallic supported NPs as catalysts in various (de)hydrogenation processes involved in important fields such as fine chemistry, environmental pollution control, energy and so on.
